UbuntuDDE Remix 23.04 – Lunar Release Note

Hello community! Finally, yes we are back with our new release UbuntuDDE Remix 23.04 codenamed lunar. The development of this new release was a complete roller coaster ride. We had few ups and downs while building the new release of Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) which caused the delay of lunar, but hey, we made it!

First things first, I’d like to thank the UbuntuDDE Remix Community and our precious donors, patrons, sponsors, supporters, and well-wishers for motivating and supporting us for our next release.

Personally, I’d like to thank Dmitry Shachnev (Debian Developer and Ubuntu Developer), justforlxz (from Deepin), Jot Singh (mustang), my fellow UbuntuDDE core team and everyone else for always supporting and helping us throughout the journey.

    1. Total FUD. You absolutely can install google-chrome. Download the .deb package from google.com/chrome and install with sudo dpkg -i “name of package”.deb

      Once installed run google-chrome-stable from the terminal and you will see the icon appear in your application menu for easy access later.

  1. The best distro I have tested. Beautiful design. As a note, please beautify the bootsplash (Plymouth). Otherwise just perfect. Keep going guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  2. why no Ubuntudde 23.10 builds yet, is this project dead? since the latest stable ubuntu, kubuntu, and other spins are now 23.10 builds, I am guessing it can be apt upgraded with the prompt commands

    the command below should be able to upgrade 23.04 to 23.10 I think but I am not sure, if it might break the deepin desktop itself, or if they have 23.10 packages for this spin? since there seems to be no information on 23.10 on their website.

    1. J’ai essayé plusieurs fois le upgrade proposé sur ubuntuDDE 23.04 vers 23.10 mais échec à chaque fois quelques soient les options choisies pendant cette mise à jour ??

  3. can should be able to install google-chrome with either snap, or flatpak flathub, on ubuntu distros if that helps, I seen that comment above about that.

  4. Very nice! I’m rebuilding my pc’s hardware and I’m getting way from windows (I’ve done this through the years but now I am determined).
    I was considering Pop! OS for the efficiency but I always loved Deepin but I wanted a more popular base and Ubuntu would be perfect for that. So I will install Ubuntu DDE for sure.

  5. I have tried the live version and I like it. I have installed it on an external hard drive but when I logged in with the password I had entered during the installation, the system did not start. Someone has the solution. Thank you

  6. Hello, I have installed Ubuntudde on an external hard drive but when I start with the password I had set during the installation, it restarts constantly, always asking for the password. Please help.
    Thank you

    1. I really like the 23.04 design. Only thing that concerns me the Wayland dde gear choice. It locks you into an inactive screen.

      Any advise on that feel free to email or post.

  7. Just want to echo previous comments, LTS 24 is badly needed.
    Also, there appears to be some stability/bug related to terminal – it quits a few times all of sudden for me now. Otherwise, great design.

  8. Is it possible to make 23.04 have the dde style via modification. i like the new dde style but want the more modern attributes 23.04
